“Councilor Reynoso. Thank you. Well, I'm going to echo a lot of the things that were said. First and foremost, thank you to the finance department for the excellent job that you always do. to the department directors that have participated in this process, looking into your departments to see where things could be cut, have also been helpful. Like I always say, this is a city of excellence, and I believe this budget reflects that. So to be able to continue, I see the city as a product, right? To be able to continue to give the services that we do, to be able to continue to have the morale…”

“Councilwoman Rados the mayor so you know I have a background in health service administration So this language is it's quite easy for me to understand and I think really the most important thing that we have to make sure that we are communicating is the Services the benefits that our employees will continue to have although the name-brand of the insurance is changing correct yes, and I We never know what the future holds, but we can't stick with a company that was already going to charge us more and then being able to find just another reputable company that can do the same, if not a little…”

“Diaf, I'm really proud of all the work that you have done throughout the years. I value the continued effort of making it better every year and to include art that is diverse, that is unique. And it's really adding to what the cultural diversity of Doral is and really bringing up what art and the meaning of keeping that alive and present within our community and the importance of doing so. So I'm glad that you all have been tasked to do that. It's a big responsibility because art and culture is something that if we don't do as a city, it's going to be hard for anyone else to do. So thank you…”

“I don't remember, but I know that it was spent and there was no money to replenish that account. Yeah.”

“Thank you, Mayor. So this item would already use an established volunteer program that we do have through our parks, I believe. And it would be using our military affairs advisory board to kind of lead the Doral squad in events of emergency, particularly a hurricane. So during the time of a hurricane warning, I would like, because our community is so strong and we're so united, for even a time of need such as a hurricane to be able to establish a an emergency team based of volunteers led by the military advisory board to Dispatch within our different communities particularly to our silver…”

“Yes. So the City of Doral has had... some hard last couple of months. But we are resilient. We are a community with heart. The reason why things affect us so closely is because of the close relationship that our employees have with each other, our community has with us. And it's a bittersweet thing. But again, it shows what a great job we are doing as a city, that all these different people and events intertwine us, keep us connected. So mental health needs to be our priority. I know that the city has been doing things but we need to do more and we need to do better. So public service can be…”

“Yes. And I would like for mandatory sessions to be included in whatever the program is because I think if everybody needs to go to a session, whether it's a workshop or whatever it may be, it starts to break down the stigma. It also becomes an avenue that if somebody does need that extra help, they can kind of go through that under the radar and seek that help that they may be needing without a worry of maybe somebody noticing. We just want to be able to provide that resource of help when needed. And to the mayor's point, I love the now extending this to the community. perhaps on a monthly…”

“OK, I have a question for the applicant. After listening through to the residents' concerns, I want to address this. I DIDN'T SEE IT THIS WAY WHEN I FIRST MET WITH THE APPLICANT, SO I WANT TO SEE WHAT THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND THIS WAS. WE HAVE LOT 1 TO THE WEST AND WE HAVE LOT 3 TO THE EAST. IS THERE A REASON WHY THAT WASN'T CONSIDERED TO PUT THE GAS STATION MORE TOWARDS THE WEST AND MAYBE SWITCH THE NEVARO PROPERTY WITH THE GAS STATION?”

“Okay, and then my next question is, let's see. I see the buffer, and that's been intentional to keep. THE MOST DISTANCE APART FROM THE PROPERTY AND THE RESIDENTS. I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING A STONE WALL VERSUS THE CHAIN LINK, HEARING THE RESIDENTS TODAY THE SAME. I'M SORRY, THE CONCRETE WALL VERSUS A CHAIN LINK. I BELIEVE THERE'S MORE PRIVACY, MORE PROTECTION TO THEM, AND IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DISCUSSED.”

“Okay. Mean other than these two questions which again have been brought through our residents, which I appreciate their input I Think the project is is thoughtful towards the community and There are property rights that we need to respect from both parties Those are my questions for now”

“Thank you. And also, one of the conversations that I was having with the applicant's council was about our children. I wanted to make sure that the property was safe for them. And they did tell me that they did consider 41st and having ample space between 41st and the property. I'm a mother of three, and that's imperative. I mean, all of us, all of us care about that. So that was part of my conversations with them. SO THEY DID TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN AND THE COMMUNITY THAT IS GOING TO VISIT THAT AREA. I DO WANT TO ECHO WHAT THE COUNCIL MEMBER SAID AS FAR AS…”

“Any other questions? Mayor, I do have a comment. Yes, . Again, also thank you, staff, for the report and our consultant. Thank you. My question is, are we giving discounts to our seniors?”
City Council · Jun 10, 2026

“OK. And did we analyze potentially doing free classes or giving something of the programming, some aspect of the programming for free? Was that analyzed?”

“OK, I appreciate that because that was definitely a concern for our seniors, particularly a few. And then the other question is, we are expanding the military discount to those that are in the armed forces in Southern Command, correct?”
City Council · Jun 10, 2026

“And I also appreciate those that are working within the City of Doral to obtain some sort of benefit, especially when it has to do with health and quality of life, that they're able to have some buy-in into the programming at the resident rate. So I did appreciate that being included in two. was assessed and in the study. So those are my questions. Thank you.”

“Yes. Well, I'm in complete agreeance with my colleague, Councilwoman Porras, in terms of obviously never passing down anything to the residents that necessarily they don't have to be accountable for. Now, from my understanding, okay, in layman's terms, there is a difference between condo law and HOA law. In order for the DBPR to have any type of accountability component to what is happening with HOAs, there needs to be a buy-in into the DBPR per unit of that HOA association. If not, that's what really cuts off the accountability portion and the investigation portion of what the DBPR can do,…”

“Right. And then so this item essentially is what we're doing is we're giving law enforcement, the police, the tools that they need to look at these claims that are made by HOAs to see if there's something that they can take and make a case out of it for the HOA and the community. Okay, and I think we're all aligned here I'm speaking for my colleagues in that we want to find a solution wherever it is our authority of power allows and Whether that is advocating whether that is finding these types of solutions for our residents What what I don't want and I'm sure my colleagues don't want either…”
